Mary J. Blige-MARY-CD - 17.08.1999 MCA Records/UMG Recordings, Inc. - 008811225520-400 grn
Released on August 17, 1999, Mary signaled a new chapter not only in the singers life, but in her musical evolution. In the three studio albums leading up to the album, Blige earned her place in the industry by fusing uptempo hip-hop swagger with rough-hewn vocals that unearthed the pain and passion of black womanhood. ‘Deep Inside’ finds the singer at her most vulnerable and introspective over ELTON JOHN’s 1973 classic "Bennie And The Jets", lamenting the obstacles that her fame creates for her relationships. Hardly a sample or interpolation, when you’re Mary J. Blige, you just get Sir ELTON himself to come and play piano on the track for you. ARETHA FRANKLIN weighs in and advises her soulful progeny on "Don’t Waste Your Time." Swapping out guest MCs for rock’n’roll legends on Mary, Blige recruited ERIC CLAPTON for the slow-burning "Give Me You", an organ-heavy olive branch of forgiveness. SLOWHAND saves the fancier fretwork for later, quietly supporting Blige until he fully unleashes his guitar mid-way through the song. Also Features BABYFACE, LAURYN HILL, NATHAN EAST, JADAKISS And GEORGE MICHAEL.
